Jones Day in Who's Who Legal: Georgia

Lizanne Thomas heads the corporate practice in the firm’s Atlanta office and ranks highly in the Corporate Governance chapter. Those who have worked with her talk of her “very good experience”, also praising her as a “talented and a well-regarded speaker”. We also recognise Trammell Newton and Stephen Morris from Alston & Bird in the Competition chapter. With a “good reputation for antitrust work”, Newton has represented clients such as Air Canada and Wayne Corporation in antitrust litigation. His competitors have “a great deal of respect for him and rate him highly”. The “excellent” John Zamer represents the firm in Mergers & Acquisitions and is hailed as “the best at Jones Day” for both cross-border and domestic M&A matters. His impressive client list includes the likes of Eastman Chemical Company, Georgia Gulf Corporation and HBO & Co. Many of his clients have also paid him the ultimate compliment of returning for advice and representation in different matters.
